Well, getting US out of Europe is probably a good thing in the long run. In the short run, maybe not so sure. That's a lot of troops to replace.
Is this a rhetoric question? Because if you have the answer I'm interested to know.
If not, I don't know. At 2:18 this video references a previous attempt to re-arm Europe, and that one of the reasons it never got through was because the US didn't like it. It seems to be referencing the Saint-Malo declaration, but I've yet to be able to confirm US role in this.
When linking the video above, I noticed they have a newer one kind of on this topic. I found it interesting, maybe you will too: Europe’s Military is Weak - But Is That America’s Fault?
